This is a pleasant run on the walking paths in the park-like terrain around the Open-Air Museum of Lithuania (LLB Museum). The museum featured a combination of indoor and outdoor exhibits focused on the ethnographic regions of Lithuania, and sits on 195 hectares of land on the eastern shore of the Kaunas Lagoon.

There are 7-8 km of paths, and the terrain is fairly open. We’ve mapped a 5.6 km loop around the perimeter. You’ll pass numerous historic buildings and outdoor exhibits. It’s a popular area for walking, so it’s OK to run. There are WC facilities along the trails.
Just to the west, there are some forested trails that are good for hiking/trail running.

A terrific 10k 'runseeing' tour of Kaunas, hitting the major highlights: historic centre including the longest street in Europe; Confluence Park; Castle, Nemunas Island. It's scenic and nearly all on pedestrianized streets/paths.
A scenic run through several parks in central Kaunas, highlighted by the famous Kaukas Stairs, and Oak-Wood Park (Ąžuolyno parkas), which boasts the largest urban stand of mature oaks in Europe.
The best river running option accessible from central Kaunas. A paved multi-use path runs along the right bank of the Nemunas River for up to 7 km, from the Great Bridge to the Bridge of Panemunė. Lovely river views nearly the whole way.
A nice running option in southeastern Kaunas combining a path along the Nemunas River with paths in Panemunė Pinewood Park, a large pine-forested park. Can be combined with our Right Bank Nemunas River route.
In the eastern part of Kaunas, this is a nice run in a waterfront park in the area the Kaunas Lagoon and the Pažaislis Monastery. 4-5 km of waterside & forested paths. Views of the water & the Chernobyl Movie Bridge!
